About Me: At this time I am working as a contractor in apparel as patternmaker, designer, draper, wherever I can find work in this economy. I am currently developing my private lable and first line under this lable that I will be launching in Fall 09 or Sp 10. I toy with the idea of finding an associate designer to work with to help develop the line and to some of the sewing and such but it is hard to find tallented interested people.
Hobbies & Interests: Design, sewing, um.... design.... i like fabric shopping.... I really have no other interstes. I do love movies such as 300, sin city, out of my skin waiting to see watchmen. I spend my days with ghost hunters and 1408 playing on my laptop while I sew.
